Atomic-Level Analysis of Aragonite Formation

For almost a century, scientists have been puzzled by a process that is crucial to much of the life in Earth’s oceans: Why does calcium carbonate, the tough material of seashells and corals, sometimes take the form of calcite, and at other times form a chemically identical form of the mineral, called aragonite, that is more soluble — and therefore more vulnerable to ocean acidification?

SUNY Poly CNSE and Israel’s Metro450 Consortium Partner to Develop Standard Calibration Wafers

Supporting Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's vision for New York State's continued leadership in the global high-tech economy, SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (SUNY Poly CNSE) and Israel’s Metro450 consortium today jointly announced plans to develop and produce Standard Calibration Wafers (SCW) for use with 300mm and 450mm metrology and process tools. The initiative will generate $2.9 million in investment and support more than 100 jobs in New York and Israel.

Light Guided Through Nanometer-Thick Metal Films to Propagate Light with Plasmon Waves

What if one day, your computer, TV or smart phone could process data with light waves instead of an electrical current, making those devices faster, cheaper and more sustainable through less heat and power consumption? That's just one possibility that could one day result from an international research collaboration that's exploring how to improve the performance of plasmonic devices.

Novel Nanodevice Blocks Drug-Resistant Genes and Then Releases Cancer Drugs

Chemotherapy often shrinks tumors at first, but as cancer cells become resistant to drug treatment, tumors can grow back. A new nanodevice developed by MIT researchers can help overcome that by first blocking the gene that confers drug resistance, then launching a new chemotherapy attack against the disarmed tumors.
